David M. Stone

Peggy-Deb-Scott...John's message today sent me back about 40 years and into shock. It has been a long time, but men like Dave don't come along very often and are also remembered for a long-long time. A special truth a wonderful 55 year old lady told me as she visited her oncologist for the last time at the U.W. Hospital several years ago: "A long life is not necessarily a good life. And a good life is long enough." Selfishly, tho, don't we all want the good and great ones around at...

I was a former basketball teammate of Dave in high school and considered him a good friend. I remember he was so proud and excited to get a letter from the Naval Academy offering him a basketball scholarship when he showed it to me.

Peggy,
I'm very sorry to hear about Dave. My thoughts and prayers are with at this time.

Dear Scott, Debra, and Peggy,
I was so very saddened to learn of David's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
In deepest sympathy,
Janet Speer (Hausser)

I've know the Stone family since I was 5 years old. Mrs. Stone would come to our farm weekly every summer to buy vegetables that we grew and sold - however, that was many years ago.

I was so sad to hear about David dying so young - he was such a good person and a wonderful example of a great American! He will be missed.

Peggy and family, may God comfort you during your pain and loss. You are in my prayers.

I listened to him talk at my school. He made us kids want to be like him!

Wow, an impressive life he led. What I find really great, is that he started out in a little midwestern town, went on to Washington and a great career, and yet he still remembers those people and place that made him such a geat American. BRAVO !!!
